For those of you who don't know what a Maybook is, you should! I found out about May Designs over a year ago when I was in search of a new planner. In short, May Designs is a small business located in Austin, Texas that makes adorable personalized notebooks that are eco-friendly. These notebooks are also water resistant, durable and small enough to fit into any sized bag. They are perfect for a college student or mommy.
After ordering my planner, I couldn't get enough of them so I ordered eleven more notebooks for the sole reason that they were SO cute. Yes, I have a problem, I'm obsessed. I wanted to put them to use so I came up with a list of things to use Maybooks for and wanted to share in case you're in the same boat as me. Let's get to sailing:
1. Planner
I love to plan. Planning and being organized seems to make life so much easier and more carefree. Maybooks can be used for all kinds of planning! Mine is a bit of a mess, but you get the idea
♥ Life planners
♥ Meal planners
♥ Wedding planning
♥ Academic planners
♥ Vacation planners
2. Lists
How fun is it to write things down just to cross them off? So fun! Making lists makes me feel accomplished and productive. I use my Maybooks for so many different lists! I love to use the dotted inside pages for lists.
♥ To-do lists
♥ Gratitude lists
♥ Grocery lists
♥ Bucketlists
♥ Books to read
♥ Blog post ideas
♥ Christmas lists
3. Notes
I love taking notes, but only when it's in my Maybooks. I love using the dotted pages for my for sermon notes at church the most, but you can also use them for class notes to make lectures less tedious.
4. Inspiration
I love printing out Pinterest photos of house designs and decor and pasting them in my Maybooks to create different ideas and inspire creativity. Here you can see how I used them to design a master bedroom and a home office.
5. Tracker
Just like lists, tracking certain things in your life will help you to feel more accomplished and you will be able to look back on how you're doing. May Designs has awesome inside pages for your notebooks that make tracking things so much fun!
♥ Fitness
♥ Pregnancy
♥ Baby
♥ Budget
♥ Wedding planning progress
6. Maybooks are for kids too!
There are pages for adult and kid coloring as well as handwriting practice. It would be cool to look back and see how their artistic abilities and handwriting develops overtime!
7. Recipes
Keep all your meal ideas in one place!
8. Journaling
Sometimes the act of writing down how you're feeling, diary entries, dreams and aspirations will help you accomplish these things and work on certain things in your life. Maybooks are perfect for this!
9. Prayer Requests
I love writing down my prayer requests as well as when they were answered. This will physically show you how God is active in your life.
10. Quotes/Verses
The purpose of one of my Maybooks is to write down all my favorite bible verses. This helps in memorizing them as well as gives me something positive to read on bad days.
11. Artwork/ Designing
Blank pages can be used for sketching or watercolors or any of your artistic abilities.
12. Scrapbooking
Whatever it is you like to scrapbook, Maybooks are the place to do it! Because they're durable you are able to paste photos or stickers and other fun scrapbooking supplies in them.
13. Calligraphy
I love to use my Maybooks to practice calligraphy and creative writing designs.
14. Gifts
In my opinion, the best gifts are personalized gifts. When something is personal, it makes it more special and memorable. Who wouldn't love to get one of these cute little notebooks in the mail with their monogram on it?! Below is my collection so you can see there's so many options to choose from!
That's all I have for now! I hope you fall in love with Maybooks like I did. You can find them at;
